Interactive treadmill was developed to solve the conventional treadmill problem. In this study, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was utilized to evaluate activation frontoparietal lobe of the brain during both treadmills walking. Twenty healthy subjects participated in the experiment and two kinds of desired walking speeds (slow/fast) were provided. The results showed that in both speeds PFC cortical activation was additionally facilitated under interactive treadmill, and oxyHb concentration on the interactive treadmill use was increased at fast speed.
